Former One Direction star Liam Payne died after falling from the third floor of his hotel room in Argentina, according to state police.
Emergency services were called Wednesday evening in order to deal with a man acting erratically and perhaps under the influence, Alberto Crescenti, the director of SAME, Buenos Aires Emergency Medical Services told ABC News.
Payne’s body was found in the inner courtyard of the hotel where he was pronounced dead on the scene, according to Crescenti.
Crescenti told local Argentinian media outlet TN that Payne fell 13 to 14 meters, the equivalent of about 42 to 45 feet, describing the injuries as “very serious” and “incompatible with life.”
Crescenti added emergency services arrived at the scene at 5:11 p.m. local time, seven minutes after they received the emergency services call. Crescenti also told the outlet there was no possibility of trying to save the man, whose identity was only discovered after he was confirmed dead.
The English singer was 31.
Payne was staying at the hotel CasaSur in Palermo, Buenos Aires, according to police.
